This document introduces programming with Scratch, an integrated development environment (IDE) that uses visual blocks to construct code. It provides an overview of how computers follow instructions from programs. It then describes the Scratch IDE work areas and shows how to create a simple "hello world" program. It demonstrates building a ball and bat game in Scratch and modifying it by changing attributes like colors or rebound angle. The goal is to introduce the Scratch interface and develop an understanding of its tools by creating and modifying programs.

- 8. Recap So to recap what we have learnt that: Programmers have choices About the Scratch interface And we have created a hello world program 8 Introduction to Programming with Scratch ©Darren Cank & Patrick McGee
- 9. Building a Game using Scratch In this next section we are going to create a game from scratch. Bat and Ball 9 Introduction to Programming with Scratch ©Darren Cank & Patrick McGee
- 10. Can we Extend or modify the program We now what to add additional features to our game. Spend about 7 mins to see if you can add to the game. • Maybe you want to change the colours • Increase the angle of the rebound ---- > let your imagination decide 10 Introduction to Programming with Scratch ©Darren Cank & Patrick McGee
